Could you please explain the reason for this revert? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:04, 25 August 2016 (UTC) This is a recent image much better and depicts the courthouse in the winter.
Disambiguation link notification for March 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Columbus, Wisconsin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Whitney. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:33, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

]Hello... I recently edited your sandbox. You had copied and pasted the article for summerfest into your sandbox I assume your intention is to work on the article in that space... however the categories and links disambiguation pages were still active. I wrapped them in to deactivate them and keep your user sandbox from being linked incorrectly to the category pages. I see you are new to editing, I dont mind answering any questions you have in the future on my talk page. If you want to learn more about how categories work, see Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization.

Hello, Downspec. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started,
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Edit warring at Ledgeview, Wisconsin
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/30px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ledgeview, Wisconsin. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 32.218.32.187 (talk) 18:43, 16 January 2018 (UTC) Thank You

Please do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Wikipedia pages. This behavior is viewed as disruptive, and continuation may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
